Goldman Sachs veteran Chris Kojima will leave the bank after almost 28 years.

Kojima, who co-heads the bank’s client solutions group and is an executive in the asset and wealth management unit, will join private equity firm General Atlantic in early 2024. The firm manages $77 billion in assets and invests in high-growth businesses.

The news was reported by Reuters, and confirmed by Kojima in an email to the newswire.

Matt Gibson, who was appointed to co-lead the client business with Kojima in 2023, will assume full responsibility for the unit reporting to Marc Nachmann, head of the asset and wealth management unit.

Nachmann in a statement said: "Chris founded and led businesses that are incredibly important to Goldman Sachs, and our business today is stronger because of his leadership.”

Since joining the bank in 1995 as an investment banking associate, Kojima has held a number of senior roles. He was named managing director in 2002 and a partner in 2008 before serving as the head of Goldman’s alternative investments and manager selection group – now called the external investment group – from its inception in 2008 to 2019.

In an emailed statement to Reuters, Kojima said: "I'm looking forward to a long relationship with Goldman Sachs as an alumnus, client, and advocate.”

Goldman’s asset and wealth management business has experienced a number of senior exits in recent months, including the unit’s chief investment officer Julian Salisbury, co-president of alternative investments Mike Koester and head of healthcare investing Jo Natauri, who will leave at the end of the year.
